Projects incorporating mergerfs directly in some way

  • Lakka.tv: A turnkey software emulation Linux distribution. Used to pool user and local storage. Also includes my other project Opera. A 3DO emulator.
  • OpenMediaVault: A network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. They provide plugins to manage mergerfs.

Software and services commonly used with mergerfs

  • rclone's union feature is based on mergerfs policies
  • ZFS: Common to use ZFS w/ mergerfs
  • UnRAID: While UnRAID has its own union filesystem it isn't uncommon to see UnRAID users leverage mergerfs given the differences in the technologies.
  • For a time there were a number of Chia miners recommending mergerfs
  • cloudboxes.io
